TIPS FOR PUBLISHING

To make your text easier to view, the formatting must not have tabulation. The paragraphs must not be backed out and must be separated by a blank line:

FIRST PARAGRAPH TEXT FIRST PARAGRAPH TEXT FIRST PARAGRAPH TEXT FIRST PARAGRAPH TEXT FIRST PARAGRAPH TEXT FIRST PARAGRAPH TEXT FIRST PARAGRAPH TEXT FIRST PARAGRAPH TEXT FIRST PARAGRAPH TEXT FIRST PARAGRAPH TEXT

SECOND PARAGRAPH TEXT SECOND PARAGRAPH TEXT SECOND PARAGRAPH TEXT SECOND PARAGRAPH TEXT SECOND PARAGRAPH TEXT SECOND PARAGRAPH TEXT SECOND PARAGRAPH TEXT

For better viewing of texts that are from emails, the reproduction signs must be of the kind: .>TEXT TEXT. and separation of the lines should be removed. You can do ir manually or with an text editor or either use programs that do it automatically.
